Study parameters included a retrospective chart review with prospective follow-up at a 369-bed, university-affiliated, community teaching hospital. Eighty-one consecutive patients undergoing surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm between 1991 and 2000 were included. Main outcome measures included mortality and quality of life, as assessed by the SF-36 health survey.

Predictor variables significantly related to mortality were age (p |
